When I tell you that this regime is the Reagan administration on crack (allegedly), it's bar for bar. If Reagan has no haters, I am dead.

I called my rep. I left a message. You can also do this. www.commoncause.org/find-your-re...

normally I would say this has to be a joke, it's so stupid and poorly written

“The women voting solely on abortion make me crazy,” (Jennifer) Ziemba said. “I’d gladly give up my abortion rights and my daughter’s for my son not to have to go to war. We’ll have peace with Trump.” www.nytimes.com/interactive/...

FOX & FRIENDS: Rep. Jim McGovern is saying you did not get authorization from Congress and that you just launched an 'unjustified, illegal strike on Venezuela.' Your reaction? TRUMP: These are weak, stupid people

every single story needs to be clear: this was illegal. illegal domestically. illegal internationally. textbook rogue.

Removing agency from the Venezuelan people. Nice.

Trump on Democrats: "They should say 'great job.' They shouldn't say, 'Oh gee, maybe it's not constitutional.' You know, the same old stuff that we've been hearing for years and years and years."

Full statement: internationalpolicy.org/publications...

Republican leaders were briefed. Democratic leaders were not. This is the Trump approach.

The conservative mind has been ruled for a generation by the fantasy of a brilliant, principled liberal who is led by the spirit of honest inquiry to a humble, weeping conversion to conservatism. And since that has never happened in reality, they have to pay each other to perform it for them.

this AND every individual and org still posting on Xitter needs to explain why

the current Xitter/ CSAM horrorshow reminds me of some months ago when I got blocked by a highly regarded law professor who I'd been following on various media for YEARS. He posted here on Bluesky something along the lines of "I just finished up a huge thread on [issue] over at X. [1]

You personally really should delete your X account immediately.

I also love America and believe in its stated values. And I understand that this pronouncement lands very differently when it comes from an organization that has intentionally been overhauled in order to curry favor with a jingoistic proto-fascist who says his opponents hate the country.

"regarding tips, we're essentially doing Tip Theft 2.0. We don't "steal" them legally anymore because we got sued for that. Instead, we use predictive modeling to dynamically lower the base pay." www.reddit.com/r/confession...

WATCH — Israeli cybersecurity billionaire Shlomo Kramer: "It’s time to limit the First Amendment… We need to control all the social platforms, and take control of what they are saying."🤔

Mike Johnson hasn't seen that.

1/ It is not at all surprising that Israel's government loves a definition of antisemitism that protects against the expression of policy positions that criticize Israel. But calling such policy positions antisemitic does not make them so. www.nytimes.com/2026/01/02/n...

Retired immigration judge to @radleybalko.bsky.social: "It always starts with the minorities. It always starts with the immigrants. If we don’t stop them, it will be American citizens. We need to be screaming that this isn’t America—that this isn’t who we are" newrepublic.com/article/2042...

This is the "testing the waters" phase of the playbook. The GOP ecosystem targets groups like Somalis, Haitians, and trans people specifically because they've calculated that the average person's passive disapproval won't ever turn into active defense. They're exploiting public apathy.

Why do I have to read an Irish paper for a feature about this?

this is a fascinating statistic. i would assume this is to a great degree simply the obvious fact that green energy is by definition a growth sector. fossil fuels is not, notwithstanding the big run up in production in FF in the last 20 years.

good thing we completely demolished all federal regulatory autonomy oversight in this new golden age of innovation, I'm sure this sort of thing will continue to go very well

"The world's richest man, a well-documented drug addict who is a Nazi and a major support and adviser of the President of the United States of America, has created a website that produces CSAM on demand at scale while he demands ethnic cleansing worldwide"

getting harder and harder to argue against just calling it, committing a voluntary extinction and giving the raccoons a shot at the title. Last one to leave turn out the lights. Humanity, we are doing it wrong. www.theatlantic.com/ideas/2026/0...

Bari, if I want to know what the dipshit on the street thinks, I'll go to Quora or Reddit Or just to the street and ask them. the point of journalism is to do the fucking legwork and get the pertinent information - ideally from specialist experts.

New in PN: The blame for alleged fraud in Minnesota belongs to conservatives "Republican policies have created a perfect vicious cycle: Privatize services, let private companies run amok, then declare that the government is the problem. And the Trump administration is turbo-charging it."

Pennsylvania homies, contact Sacrifice BJJ and let them know the community will not tolerate their gym training Nazis to conduct violence.

Super important so I hope @eladn.bsky.social doesn't mind if I bring it here. This normalizing of the key denialist trope is both a huge red flag and one that probably doesn't seem that significant to those who don't actually pay much attention to antisemitism. www.threads.com/@eladnehorai...

One last fucked up 2025 scoop—FEMA has begun issuing termination notices to CORE staff (appointed under the Stafford Act, ordinarily extended for 2 years) effective Jan 2, agency sources tell me. Sr leadership was asked if they could be given more notice but Acting Administrator Karen Evans said no.

Trump says Barron has an “unbelievable aptitude in technology” because he can… turn on his laptop 😬🤷🏼

I am a broken record but: this will require Supreme Court reform. There is no chance the John Roberts Six allow prosecutions of Trump officials to stand. 1/

Comical, @wsj.com.

one of my recent preoccupations is the visceral hostility the MAGA right has for the histories and traditions of the United States. these are people who spit on the Declaration and salute third-rate European despots!

Here @pkrugman.bsky.social nails a crucial aspect to the public backlash against Trump/Miller fascism: Basically decency. "Many Americans are already sickened by MAGA’s wanton cruelty and bigotry against immigrants, and I believe thnoeir numbers will grow." paulkrugman.substack.com/p/immigrant-...

"Ignore my mother’s marriage advice. Especially if it involves a not-so-distant relation or anyone in the clergy."

👇🎯 Oh, you enjoy public services & national parks & infrastructure & the US military’s nuclear umbrella? Yet you paid no federal taxes last year, because your money is all in the Cayman Islands? 🤔

yes, we really need SCOTUS to counter the majority, otherwise we'd have: functional democracy egalitarian multi-cultural society/ equal rights for all clean air, water, food, etc. progressive taxation green energy consumer rights & protections financial regulation what other horrors am I missing?

In the final hours before the subsidies for the Affordable Care Act are about to expire.

Trump literally bid $100,000 on a painting last night during an auction at his private club (it went for $2.7 million)

It’s also essentially the sort of thing (and I swear this is true) I was taught by MY SOUTH CAROLINA PUBLIC SCHOOL IN THE NINETEEN EIGHTIES to be exactly what America was supposed to be all about. But of course 1980s South Carolina was a noted bastion of Woke

We're seeing a resurgence of law office history in recent "debates" re well-settled law, e.g., birthright citizenship, for which I point you toward @evanbernick.bsky.social, @gowder.io, and @anthonymkreis.bsky.social's excellent article: publications.lawschool.cornell.edu/lawreview/20...

Curtis Yarvin, JD Vance’s friend & ideological influence, ended 2025 by claiming “only Hitler spoke the truth” about “too many subjects” & “Hitler was a genius.” Extremism isn’t fringe on the right. Once marginal online extremists like Yarvin are influential at the highest levels of government.

Once you look for, "does this [article / op-ed / claim by a politician] consider the 80% of Americans who live in urban areas to be real Americans?" you will see it everywhere, because the answer is usually "no."

If you're a Democrat, you're a sucker if you imagine this agency has anything to do with immigration. It is--and aspires to be!--a fascist paramilitary goon squad. You should start saying so and lay the groundwork for starving it of funding when you take power
